About

Overview
Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever. Role Summary
We build enterprise SSD hardware that powers critical data center workloads, and we take pride in delivering high-quality AI-Enabled products to customers. Our team plays a key role in making sure every drive performs as expected before it ships. We work hands‑on with cutting‑edge hardware and use deep technical insight to uncover issues early and improve designs. If you enjoy solving complex problems and working across the full hardware stack, you’ll find meaningful impact here! In this role, you will serve as a critical checkpoint between design and customer delivery. You will validate and characterize SSD hardware across electrical, protocol, and system levels, ensuring performance, reliability, and functionality. You will work across NAND, DRAM, PCIe, and board‑level systems, using Linux‑based validation environments to test, debug, and automate processes. Your work will directly influence final hardware quality and customer outcomes. Responsibilities
Validate SSD hardware from bring‑up through full electrical and protocol characterization Characterize power, performance, NAND, DRAM, PCIe, and chip‑to‑chip interfaces Identify hardware and component issues, drive root cause, and partner with design teams to implement fixes Build and maintain Linux‑based validation environments and debug system‑level failures Develop Python automation and data analysis tools to scale validation and improve repeatability Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field Proficiency in Linux administration, scripting, and debug of test systems Hands‑on experience with lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, analyzers, and power supplies Experience validating or bringing up complex digital hardware systems Python scripting for automation and data analysis Preferred Qualifications
Experience with enterprise or data center SSDs Validation experience across power, performance, NAND, DRAM, or PCIe PCIe Gen4 or Gen5 validation and calibration experience Experience debugging chip‑to‑chip protocols such as I2C, I3C, SMBus, or UART Familiarity with CI frameworks and version control tools such as Jenkins and Git What We’re Looking For
The engineers who do well in this role tend to be self‑directed — they come to debug sessions with hypotheses and next steps rather than waiting for direction, and they follow a problem all the way through root cause and into the corrected hardware instead of handing it off. They build the automation, write the runbook, and raise the reporting standard on their own initiative, and they stay with the ambiguous, multi‑layer failures that others walk away from, often reproducing issues another bench couldn't. They document their work so the next person doesn't start from scratch, manage several programs at once, and keep moving when one path is blocked. Salary
The US base salary range that Micron Technology estimates it could pay for this full‑time position is: $91,000.00 - $194,000.00 a year. Additional compensation may include benefits, bonuses and equity. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target base pay for new hire salaries of the position across all US locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional job‑related factors, including knowledge, skills, experience, tenure and relevant education or training. The pay scale is subject to change depending on business needs. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
